A note from PlantMom

Ophrys insectifera subsp. aymoninii typically shows good disease resistance and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is regarded as difficult because it needs a high-humidity but well-ventilated environment with minimal harmful pathogens. Too much watering can cause root rot. Growing Ophrys insectifera subsp. aymoninii is feasible for anyone, but keeping it healthy and getting it to flower again demands more growing experience.
